Willie Leroux lined up at second receiver and took most of the attacking responsibilities away from Morne.
Willie Leroux was an unknown entity at the time, so he was less marked and very effective on the attack as a playmaker.
Nowadays Leroux sits wider, probably given the fact that Pollard can take the attacking responsibilities.
Are you saying Meyer did not use Morne in 2012?
It is hard to imagine that Morne had an 80% win record without Leroux- or with anyone in fact.
Additionally, the forward pack was dominant when Morne was being used. They declined as Meyer play the likes of Alberts into the ground. Vermeulen hurt his neck - and they bok pack no longer bullied the other teams.
Can a list be provided for what games Morne played in during 2012, 2013 and 2014?
If I recall Lambie, Goosen- and then finally Pollard were preferred to him.

Morne Steyn - 2012 through 2014
You may notice the tendency when using Ou Maaikie's favourite yardstick, i.e. games won v games lost.
Morne Steyn's wins count over his Bok career counts at 63.3%
Guess his winning ratio during his time under HM as Bok coach? Yep. That's correct. 76%
Johan Goosen under HM was 50%.
And Elton Jantjies got the same % as Goosen albeit having played in only two tests.
